The noise is only when I go in reverse and give it some gas it's on the driver side I don't know what it could be I checked the hub and it doesn't seem loose at all but I think it's kinda weird cause it only happens in reverse

is it a grinding or whining....? jeeps have straight cut reverse gears, so they have a whine that get's louder the faster you go in reverse, thats normal...

rear brakes dragging in reverse, stone or rock between the front brake dust shield and rotor? Stick your head out the window and see if you can locate where.
